Birth control is just hormones. It won't do anything. I'm on the Depo Provera shot and I just found out that I somehow got pregnant before I had my last shot. Now I have to wait 3 months before it gets out of my system but my doctor told me that I don't have to worry about birth control messing with the baby.

Birth control companies do claim it will not affect your pregnancy, I would not stop taking it until you know for sure you are pregnant because you might accidentally get pregnant if you stop!!! Your baby doesn't share blood supply with you until around 5-6 weeks anyways and you will know by then.
